Beach day Nineteen

My feelings about going home early have not changed but today was an absolutely wonderful day! I've lost the desire to pack my stuff and go running back home as fast as I can! We had zero meltdowns and everything just went smoothly today. Granted, we didn't go to the beach or the pool, we just ran normal errands and did a little shopping. We had good, quality, momma-play-with-me time! I loved it and when I asked Audrey at bedtime what was her favorite thing we did today-- she said, "Play with you!". I can honestly say that if yesterday was the worst day that we have- then we are doing really good!!

Addie will be here tomorrow morning and Audrey is beside herself with excitement. She can't wait to show Addie "her beach". Ha! We made cookies for Addie today also so I am sure Audrey will be on a sugar high before lunch!! That's okay though- we are on vacation!

I didn't take any pictures of the grocery store today and I am sure you all are so disappointed! I did take some of my little inch worm. Smiley is veeerrry close to figuring out how to crawl. She is definitely mobile and can get herself wherever she wants to go. It's just somewhat painful- she hikes her bottom up in the air, pulls her knees forward one at a time and then lunges her body forward. The result is a little red nose and a few tears every now and then.

We are really excited about our friends coming but sad about Jessica, Jackson and Bailey leaving. Especially since the last time Audrey saw Jackson they were both in the middle of a meltdown! I'm super happy about having an adult other than me in this condo though! I need some conversation!!

Smiley's been getting up before daylight the entire time we've been here. If she does that tomorrow, when Audrey gets up we are going to go have a picnic breakfast on the beach. I wish I had a third arm so I could take pics but it's doubtful that will happen!
